Who Was the First US President to be Born in a Hospital?

The first US president to be born in a hospital was Jimmy Carter in 1924. All previous presidents were born in their parents' house, as was common at the time. Out of the presidents before Carter, 7 presidents were born in log cabins, and 8 weren't born in the US at all. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and William Henry Harrison were all born before the US became a country, though they were born in colonies that later became part of the US.
